A volunteer writes:   As my mother would say, “Now that’s a beautiful dog”….and indeed she is!  Her rich caramel coat is stunning, her teeth a perfect little row of Chiclets, her weight is perfect for her size, and her eyes look like they’ve been made up by a make up artist.   While her looks are stunning and sophisticated (she could grace the cover of Doggie Vogue), she’s all playful silly puppy, goofy, fun and funny with lots of bouncy energy.  She loved playing with a toy and didn’t mind sharing it with me, joined me on the bench for some cuddle time and then flopped over for a belly rub!!  Surrendered to our care due to “personal problems”, we’re told that she lived playfully and affectionately with an infant and a 4 year old, wanted to play with the resident cat (who didn’t want to play with her), doesn’t guard her stuff, is social and playful with strangers, is housetrained with both wee wee pads and going outside, and pulls on leash so should be walked with a harness (and perhaps have some leash training).  Mesa play bowed to a little dog in an adjoining pen and in group play engages in typical puppy play, exuberantly soliciting play with paw slaps and mouthing.   If an energetic, fun and lively companion who also loves to snuggle is who you’ve been looking for, Mesa cordially extends an invitation to come meet her today.  Be prepared to play and snuggle, probably in that order.   My mother would also say, “What a great dog!”

BEHAVIOR:

Messa came to us as an owner surrender on 4/14/16. According to the owner Mesa has lived with an infant and 4 year old child. She is reportedly very playful and affectionate towards them, and is very playful and friendly with strangers as well. She doesn’t mind when someone tries to touch her food or take away her treats or toys.

Messa had very high energy when entering the behavior room and had very loose and wiggly body language. She greeted the assessor by jumping up on him with this body language. Throughout the assessment Messa was jumping up on the assessor attempting to sit on his lap and would nudge the assessor with her head for rubs. She allowed the assessor to conduct all tactile assessment items while maintaining very soft body language. She joined the assessor in play during the tag interaction, jumping up on the assessor a bit strongly throughout the item. Messa only displayed minimal interest in the toy item on this portion of the assessment. We believe that Messa can go to an adopter with an average amount of dog experience.

Look: 1. Dog leans forward or jumps up to lick the Assessor’s face with tail wagging, ears back and eyes averted.

Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft, soft and loose body, and open mouth.

Tag: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. He indicates play with huffing, soft ‘popping’ of the body, etc. Dog jumps on Assessor once play begins.

Squeeze 1: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw.

Squeeze 2:1. Dog gently pulls back his paw.

Toy: 1. Minimal interest. Dog smells, licks and mouths, then turns away.

When off leash with other dogs Mesa engages in typical puppy play. She is exuberant, offers paw slaps and will mouth the helper dog to solicit as well as during play.
